J.M., RN, MSN, Employee Health/Infection Control Nurse, Northwest Kidney Centers, Seattle, WA, August 20, 2010
"Please let your staff know that their work is so helpful in so many ways. The busy pediatrician offices that I visit here in Central Florida really benefit from having good, easily digestible and pointed information that the Immunization Action provides. In addition to sharing the IAC Express by email, I provide photocopies of Needle Tips to the offices when I make either audit or educational visits. I encourage the doctor or lead nurse to make them available in the lunch room or other location where staff might find that they have just a few moments of free time. There is a distinct advantage in being able to provide information that is not branded as being sourced from the vaccine industry or government programs. It seems that people are more willing to accept and believe information that comes from what they consider to be an unbiased source. So, keep up the good work and remember that you are all very close partners with parents and pediatricians here in Florida even though we are separated by hundreds of miles."

"I first discovered Needle Tips when it was passed around the office to share with anyone interested. I would not have discovered it otherwise. I now subscribe and read each issue pretty much cover to cover, and share it with others. I am sorry to hear that the hard copy version will no longer be available. I am one who believes strongly in maintaining a hard copy option for publications. For one, for those of us who spend long hours in front of a computer screen the thought of doing more reading on a computer screen is a burden. Although printing a copy out is always an option, many departments are limiting printing to save costs. The hard copy version is sturdier than the printed version so it stands up to being shared among many people and carried around in a briefcase to medical meetings. It is of better quality printing than my office printer can do (the tiny footnotes are more legible) and the ink is water fast (yes, we do sometimes get caught out in the rain while holding your publication, or spill coffee on it!) Some of our rural health offices have very slow internet connections which limits their use. (And when I was in India in some communities just downloading a single web page from the internet took many minutes per page!) So if the CDC can see it in their heart and pocketbook to fund you for continuing to put out a printed version in the future, you will have one very happy reader then."

L.G., RN, BSN, Cowlitz County Health Department, Longview, WA, October 31, 2007
"Honestly, I don't know what we would do without it!! It is such an excellent source of information presented in a very easy to use format. What do I use it for? I use it for ALL of our staff and parent education programs. We use the material for handouts at health fairs and moms and tots programs in libraries. We use the videos for orientation for all of our new immunization nurses as well as all of the nursing students who do their clinical time in our health centers. One of our favorite pieces is the "Shots for Babies." The mothers love it because it is written in language that they understand and it makes sense to them. We have a very large Hispanic population in our county and having the material in Spanish makes it so much easier for us. Our county has limited finances to create new immunization teaching materials. With the Needle Tips materials the only thing we have to do is make copies!! Thank you so much for making Needle Tips the great publication it is!! Our staff would be lost without it. The mailed copies are passed from staff member to staff member so everyone get the opportunity to read it from cover to cover."

I like to keep myself educated and well informed. I had a friend who believed that her child did not need her 'shots' and I was able to convince her using an older copy of Needle Tips Fall/Winter 1998 which had a section on deaths of children/adults who contracted contagious diseases without being vaccinated. It was a very informative article and it helped to persuade my friend to get her child vaccinated.”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you... I am a pediatric nurse practitioner who has been involved in immunization since 1992 and have been searching every resource possible to find a reliable source to document that we do not give children injections in the gluteus lateralis. I am a clinical instructor in Peds/OB at a community college and have tried to convince the instructor that the Pediatrics text she uses is wrong (it states injections can be given in that spot after 2 years of age). My friend who is a geriatric nurse practitioner knew of my search and showed me the summer issue of VACCINATE ADULTS!-not only was the answer I was looking for there, but detailed, easily understood diagrams and information about the proper way to vaccinate children and adults. I laminated two copies and will give one to the didactic instructor so that she and I are not giving students mixed messages and the students will get the correct answer on the test. The second copy will be put up at the free clinic where I have volunteered for 10 years to make sure that all who volunteer to give immunizations know what they are doing. I am very passionate about having only competent persons giving immunizations."
